Stock headers for turbo setup? Hey there... I just had a thought, though I haven't tried this yet, but was wondering if anyone else has...
Would stock headers, left side on the right, and right side on the left fit? Im thinking of slapping a single turbo off of each header. I'm wondering it this will work, as I attempt to build my own twin turbo kit.
thanks!

Re: Stock headers for turbo setup? I dont think any one has been able to yet. ON the passenger side header there isnt much room.
there has been alot of talk on doing this junkyard turbo set up, but dont think anyone ever finished one.

Re: Stock headers for turbo setup? Been there tried that!
The stock headers are too low. This means that the turbos will hang down below the level of the body structure slightly. This also means that you'll need to have oil lines that are lower than that to drain the oil. Which means that you need a resevoir that's lower than that with a scavange pump to pull the oil out and drain it into the oil pan.
You'll either bang the oil line or resevoir off the ground and have a mess.
One option would be to cut the headers down and have a flange welded on to bring the location up.
